He doesn't have to have intended to kill the guy to be criminally liable for his death. He was grossly negligent in his sustained use of a restraint technique with lethal capacity and callously unrelenting in the force applied, which was deemed excessive, even as the danger Floyd was in was apparent, and even then after he went still and no longer had a pulse. Whatever his intent, he murdered that man by two different legal definitions as the justice system concluded.

You have to look at the fact, and he didn't intent it, and that is the truth. /s
